FRIENDLY HILLS COUNTRY CLUB (1968)

LOS ANGELES REGION

Members only: 18 hole

8500 Villaverde Drive, Whittier, ca 90605

Tel: (562) 698-0331

Designed by James Wilfred Hines. Located in the hills, this a short and demanding course where driver is rarely your best option. To score well here, you need to keep in the fairway and be skilled with your flat stick. From downtown Los Angeles (about 20 miles southeast to the course): Take Highway 60 east, exit onto Hacienda Boulevard, and travel south for three miles. Turn right on Colima Road for two and one-quarter miles. Turn left on Mar Vista and then right on Villaverde Drive. The club is on the right.

Designed by unknown. This is a short course with one par 4 and the rest par 3s. No reciprocal play is allowed. Whoever named the course obviously did not consult with the staff. From downtown Los Angeles (about 29 miles north to the course): Take I-5 north to Highway 14, and exit at Golden Valley Road. This leads to Friendly Valley Parkway. Turn right into the complex and enter the parking lot for the course.
